Poplars are desirable where rapid growing varieties are wanted, and they are also very 
distinct and striking. 
l/GREEN-LEAVED, or CAROLINA.— (Monilifera. )— Of compact habit. A very rapid 
grower. A desirable tree for the seashore, and for our larger cities where escaping 
gas kills most shade trees. Fifty to sixty feet. 
LOMBARD Y.— (Fastigiata.)— From Italy. Remarkable for its erect, rapid growth, 
and tall, spiry form. Of great value for planting with other trees to break the 
average height and form. Fifty to seventy-five feet. 
SILVER-LEAVED, or WHITE. — (Alba. ) — Leaves large, green above and pure white

lawn trees. From Japan. Beautiful, rich, glossy, fern-like foliage. Rapid 
growth. Rave and elegant. A tall upright grower. 
THORN, or ENGLISH HAWTHORN (Crataegus.)— 
The thorns are dense, low growing trees, and the varieties which we describe are ex- 
ceedingly ornamental when in bloom. They also stand pruning well, and may 
be trained to assume picturesque tree forms. They are well adapted to small 
enclosures, are entirely hardy, and will thrive in all soils. 
Y DOUBLE PINK. — (Rosea flora pleno.)— A pretty tree at all times, but gorgeous in 
June when it is covered with double pink blossoms. 
DOUBLE WHITE.— (Alba flore pleno.)— A highly ornamental variety, on account 
of both foliage and flowers. Small double white flowers. Blooms in June.

in clusters, a rich crimson color, beautiful to behold. Blooms in June. A good 
grower and thoroughly hardy.
